The only strong test at 135 is DeMarco, and I will never get the pciture out of my head of Valero dazzling DeMarco with his footwork and him being completely unable to deal with it. Broner doesn't have Valero level footwork, but he has good footwork and very fast hand like Valero had.

Ahhhhh.... Valero. That night against DeMarco, I was 100% ONBOARD, he was sensational, and with a huge gash from an elbow early doors too. Great fighter. Would love that fight in HD.....
Valero was just starting to display some boxing skills when he crashed and burned.

Broner is as fast as anyone in boxing right now including the likes of Gamboa and Russell Jr. Broners style to me is like a hybrid of Benton, Floyd and Ward with a little Robinson thrown in with his willingness to engage. He keeps a pretty wide stance behind that shoulder and remains flat footed much of the time giving him crushing power from either side. Very difficult to get to in the way he lines up and he is an incredible counter puncher. I guess he could become a dud but I highly doubt it.
